Day at the Museum

The Musée Jacquemart André is located in the heart of the 8th arrondissement. It’s a private museum that originally was the home of Édouard André and Nélie Jacquemart. The museum is made up of a series of rooms and apartments with a vast collection of paintings, sculptures, furniture and remarkable architecture. When the weather can [...]

How to Wear a Slip Skirt in Winter

The silk skirt can be both casual and formal - it just depends on how you style it. I like to wear it with ankle boots, a thick jumper and a blazer jacket. For a more casual look, just pair it with a plain t-shirt, ankle boots and a leather jacket. It’s a very simple [...]

Starting of the New Year with a Paler Palette

I don’t usually make New Year resolutions but talking through resolutions with friends got me thinking more about them. The phrase ‘New Year, New Me’ I don’t think is the most positive encouragement. This year I was contemplating why we make resolutions, thinking about what I need to do more or less of in my [...]

Feeling Festive in Paris

Christmas is always the most magical time, not just for children but for adults too! Paris, the City of Light’, never ceases to enchant me with its stunning Christmas displays. A few things that always put me in a cheery mood include walking around the 8tharrondissement (which seems to be the hub of Christmas décor), [...]

L’appartement Sézane

All with Sézane’s eclectic style. Around the store you will find water infused with lemons, cucumbers and oranges, as well as a range of biscuits dotted around [...]

Winter Warmers

It’s now December which is my favourite month of the year. It always seems such a wonderful time seeing all the decorations go up (luckily for me I get to see both the decorations in London and Paris - Rue Saint Honoré is always delightful). Most people are in a cheery, festive mood and at [...]

The Layering Look

My absolute favourite thing about the Autumn and Winter months are getting to layer my outfits. Nothing is worse than feeling bulky and overloaded with clothes, I tend to go with quite a few light layers; I can easily take off if it gets warmer throughout the day. The most important thing to me is [...]

Autumn’s Golden Hour in Paris

In Paris we’ve been having an Indian summer recently. We couldn’t be further away from winter. I love these last few warm days. It’s always nice to wander around the streets of Paris in just a light dress, strappy shoes and no jacket. Strolling along the Seine, browsing the bouquinistes, sipping coffee on the terrace [...]

Attire for Autumn

Autumn is one of my favourite times of the year, when the leaves start to go golden-brown, the air is more crisp and less heavy than in summer and of course layering starts to happen! Autumn covers those tricky few months where it’s not cold enough to wear woolly jumpers but not warm enough to wear [...]

The Linen Dress – A Last Look at Summer

I know that summer is finally ending but one fashion item I found perfect for hot weather is a linen dress. I advise you to buy one for your next travels somewhere warm or for when summer comes back around again. I always find that linen, as it’s a light fabric, is ideal for when the [...]
